An equal contribution footnote has also been added for authors Wen Sun and Jingwei He.

In addition, under “Participant Timeline in Methods”, in Table 1, the entries for Auricular acupressure at t1 1 month and t2 3 months, and Intermittent carbohydrate restriction diet at t1 1 month have been changed from:

“N/A”

to:

“✓”.

We intend to convey that the intervention duration for auricular acupressure is 3 months, while the intervention duration for dietary restriction is 1 month. It appeared incorrectly in the final published version.

The correction will appear in the online version of the paper on the JMIR Publications website, together with the publication of this correction notice. Because this was made after submission to PubMed, PubMed Central, and other full-text repositories, the corrected article has also been resubmitted to those repositories.
